Labor Day is around the corner and it’s the last holiday to travel before the weather changes. Don’t let yourself be a victim of a crime while you are out of town with the family. There are a few things you can do to make it look like you never left. If it looks like there are still people at home, you are much less likely to be burglarized. Do everything you can to make it look like there is activity both inside and outside the house. You could also consider having some lights or motion sensors put in.
A battery operated push light in the window can be a great idea. Ask a neighbor if they’d be okay with parking in your driveway while you’re away. An easy, low tech way to make sure that your place is covered is by asking a trusted friend, neighbor or family member. Have them go over to your home several times a week just to check on everything. Be careful what you say on social media. Try not to post about it on Facebook, Twitter, or on the Internet at all. This includes “checking in” to places on Facebook or Foursquare. Someone may see the post and decide to target your home while you’re away. These are just a few easy tips to keep your home safe while you are on your trip.
